Luke Wattenberg: Everything you need to know

Wattenberg (shoulder) is active for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Wattenberg was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the fourth-year pro has been officially cleared to play in his first game since Week 16 after recovering from a shoulder injury. He should reclaim his starting job at center, and Alex Forsyth -- who filled in at center in Wattenberg's absence -- will not play Sunday due to an ankle injury.

The Broncos activated Wattenberg (shoulder) from injured reserve Saturday. Wattenberg is still listed as questionable to play in Sunday's elimination game, but the activation from injured reserve is a strong sign that the center will be able to suit up. With Alex Forsyth (ankle) also listed as questionable, the Broncos likely want to have every offensive lineman possibly available on the active roster.

Wattenberg (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots. Wattenberg was a full participant in practice throughout the week, so the center's odds of being activated from injured reserve are high. Alex Forsyth (ankle), who has been operating as the starting center, is also questionable to play. Both linemen will likely be able to suit up, but in a situation where neither can go, Sam Mustipher will be the starting center in Sunday's playoff game.
